Star Trek: Prodigy's potential relocation looms on the horizon once more
Star Trek: Prodigy, the animated series and spiritual sequel to Star Trek: Voyager, is set to conclude after its second season. This news comes as Netflix has decided not to renew the show for a third season, with the second season being confirmed as the final one.
The second season of Star Trek: Prodigy is now available on Blu-ray and DVD, offering fans a physical copy of the series. This physical release is unrelated to any Marvel, Star Wars, DC Universe, or Doctor Who releases.
The initial cancellation of Star Trek: Prodigy after its first season was followed by Netflix stepping in to revive the show. However, the recent decision not to continue with a third season, along with Paramount Global Content Distribution branding season two as final, indicates the show's end. Regional licensing complexities have also contributed to its streaming availability limitations.
Last year, Star Trek: Prodigy was saved from being completely scrubbed off streaming services by Netflix. But despite this, Netflix's streaming license for the series is set to expire, with the first season already removed and the second season scheduled to be removed soon. The streaming rights for the second season are set to expire on December 31, 2025.
The showrunners of Star Trek: Prodigy, Kevin and Dan Hageman, have not made any official announcements about a potential third season. In a post on social media, they did discuss the licensing rights for the series. They expressed hope that someone will pick up the show, ensuring its continued existence for fans.
Star Trek: Prodigy, produced by Paramount, is currently still available to stream online, but its future availability is uncertain. Fans no longer have to worry about the show being completely scrubbed offline as they did when Paramount first tried to do so, leaving certain episodes unable to watch.
Despite the lack of news about a potential third season and the news about the series' licensing renewal, the future of Star Trek: Prodigy beyond streaming online remains unclear. However, even if the series is removed from Netflix without renewal, it will remain accessible in a more reliable form through physical media.
